Raise it up, people. Today, February 7th, we celebrate the birthday of the late, great Mr. James Dewitt Yancey Cheap Oakley Sunglasses - better known to music fans worldwide as J Dilla Knockoff Oakleys or Replica Oakley Sunglasses Jay Dee Replica Oakleys
. One of the most inventive and talented producers hip-hop has seen, Dilla's been paid musical homage countless times via tribute songs, mixes and mix-tapes since his far too early passing in 2006. Even more prolific, however, have been the visual art homages his music has inspired - from accomplished artists and designers to those fans armed simply with a spray can, a stencil and some wall space to dedicate to this fallen son of Detroit. On this, the day Dilla would have turned 39, we present 39 pieces of J Dilla tribute art from places and spaces around the globe. We've done our best to accurately credit each artist, but ETL readers please feel free to help us fill in any missing info. You know what love is... Oakley Sunglasses Cheap

R.I.P ...to all them Jay Dee clones, who bit (who tried to bite) his style - just after he passed - especially them who Google'd what samples he flipped, recorded them off Youtube, flipped them like they were something original, then had the audacity to try n pass them off as heart-felt "tributes" ...also @ them folks who tag their Bandcamp throw-away-beat-pages with Dilla's name; don't dewitt*
